Z MIUJONTXS OF INCH INDIAi>«liER^ In the centuries that man ha* been trying to ftnd • cur« for the eodimon cold, his imagination has compounded many a weird {ireacrip- tioB. In 1676, the British journal “Physlck and Astrology” auggested a remedy syrup made o( garlic and brown sugar. PurgM, hot batiis, cold baths, alcoholic bewerages,snuff,quinine,sun lamps and even the wearing of red underwear have all been sug gested to the despairing sniveler. Many of these have looked good when first tried. The reason if the fact that a eiieable percentage of colds dear up within 24 hours without ever coming to full bloom. Laboratories are now spending large sums' on research in the com mon cold because while the infec tion is oaually minor, its economic cost is tremendous. At least 100 million workdays a year are lo«t through colds in the United States. The virus that cause* all the trouble has not been seen to this day, even under the electron micro scope, Through a Altering tech nique, Or.. Chriatopher H. Andrewea of England, the world’s foremost cold expert, has meas ured ita siae: it la smaller than the Influensa vima, but larger than the polio virus and has a diameter of about twe millionths of an inch. Mcwt ot what we know about the cold comas from the famous re search project of Dr. Andrewes at Salisbury in Ei^Iand. The Salis bury reaearehers have found that ccrfda are probably spread mainly by direct person-to-person cohtact and by droplets of infected nasal discharge. Col4 sufferers are in- fectioga |nd may spread the virus in tht drat Z4 hours before their first aymptomt appear While recent advances in virol ogy research give promise of find ing a cure for the cold some day, genuine progress is being made in controlling the complications of colds and in easing discomfort. For example, research scientists of Chas. Pfizer & Co. recently devel oped a unique nasal decongestant named Tyzine. According to physi cians’ reports, it is the first that is both highly efficient in clearing stuffy noses and free of the un desired side effects that have made other nasal decongestant* difficult to use. Based on a new synthetic chemical, it combines quick with long action. More good news in cold research will be warmly welcomed by the 20 million people who any day this winter you’ll find suffering from that great unsolved mystery, the common cold. « President Asked To Appoint Dr. HcGraw To Home And Loan Board President Eiserihower has has been asked by the Amwi- can Savings and Loan League to nominate Dr. Booker. T. McGraw of Washington, D^.-C., an economist and housing of- ""Iftcial, to'Tffie" Federal Home Loan Bank Board vacancy cre ated 'through the resignation of William K. Divers. The appoint ment, subject to Senate confir mation, is for four years and carries a salary of $15,000. Dr. McGraw is at present de-, puty assistant to the Adminis trator of the Housing and Home Finance Agency, a post he has held since 1946. He has been identified wiffi gowemment. housing activity for 13 years, more recently on the racial re^ ~ lations staS of Dr. Frank Horne and now with Joseph Ray. The appointment to this bi partisan agency must go to a Democrat. The Board directs and supervises the affairs of the Federal Home Loan Bank Sys tem, the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, and charters federal savings and low associations. The League represents over half of the Negre-owned and operated savings and loan asso ciations in the country, and over 80 per cent, or $13,000, 000, of the aggregate assets of these Institutions. William R. Hudgins of New York is its -president. In his letter to President Eisenhower, Mr. Hudgins noted that the nomination of Dr. Me Draw would greatly strengthen the Administration's efforts to improve the housing opt>ortuni- ties of all American families. The letter adds: “Such m^bership could serve to affect the entire ap proach of llie Federal govern ment to the financing of homes available to Negroes and other nOn-white (families.” The League’s letter ia'yed stress on the role the Board can play in stimulating Negroes, through their dndividual sav ings and efforts, to deal more effectively with their own housing problem. In another letter, Mr. Hud gins solicited the sup^rt of Housing Administrator Albert M. Cole, for the League’s re commendation of Dr. McGraw. Mr. Hudgins asserted that the choice of Dr. McGraw would carry “tlie same quality of ser vice to the_ American people which (the President) envision ed when he named Ernest J. Wilkins to be an Assistant Sec retary for the Department of Labor.” Mr. Hudgins announced to newsmen that he has invited other national . organizations representing Negro business en terprise to endorse the League’s proposal.

Highway Patrol Warns Against Blind Driving halsigh Our state may not officially sanction blind drivers, but dur ing the winter we have plenty of Blind-Blllies* behind the wheels of cars!” Major D. T. Lambert, executive officer of the State Highway Patrol said this week. Commenting on the winter time-driving hazards program being conducted by^tthe Motor Vehicle Department, the major said, “Winter drivi^ is tough enough when visibility is good. When you can’t see where you’re driving, your chances of arriving safely are almost zero!” Major Lambert defined Blind Billies” as drivers who might as well be. blind for all they can see out of their win dows. “They’re much too busy to take a few minutes to clear- the Ice and snow off their wind shield,” he said. “Instead, they drive down crowded streets, peering intently through small peepholes in their windshields, endangering everyone’s lives- including their own.” Motor Vehicle Department records show that in North Carolina’s 977 fatal traffic ao- cidents last year 141 resiUted when the driver’s vision was ob scured in one way or the other. Major Lambert cautioned Tar Heel motorists to check the fol lowing points, which are of vi tal importance to visibility In winter driving: 1. Heater .should be maintain ed in good condition to insufe a steady flow of warm air. Warm air deters the forma tioi^ of ^eam on the windows of the car. 2. Defroster should be in good working order. It should operate well enough to keep windshields free of snow . and ice. 3. Window* should be kept free of Outside accumulations of ice and snow. Clean windows before beginning to drive. 4.

There are more than 400,000 Negro twins in the United States and the number is stUl growing, states EBONY maga zine in its February issue. EBONY points out that twin ning among American Negroes occurs once in every 73 births, one of the highest rates in the world'. The nation’s average Is only one set ctf twins out of 87 births, EBONY says. Why A- merican Negroes have a twin,- ning rate higher than American whites is not kqown and solu tion to the question fascinates biologists, Dorothy and Gwendolyn Harris, 18 year old sophomojce twins at North Carolina’s Ben nett College, delight ih puzzling friends, teachers and dates. Like most twins Dorothy and Gwendolyn come from a rela tively large family. Geneticists hold that a woman has a better chance of giving birth te two- egg twins if she has previoudy given birth to triplets, quadru plets or twins, or if multiple birth run in her family. EBONY found ja near champoin in this department in Mrs. Viola Brown of Williamston, North Carolina, who at twenty-three has given birth to quintuplets, triplets, quadruplets, twins and a singleton boy. Only the trip lets, twins and the single child survlyed. Mos't authorities hold that the difference between the twin ning rate of Negroes and whites is hereditary, EBONY says. The article also reveals that census figures indicate that the fre ed for maximum vision. They should be motmted as low as ppssible on the front pt the car, and should have clear len ses. 6.

Upon entering the' invest ment business in 1952, and oj^ng the brokerage firm of JicGhee and Company, Mc Ghee stated his intention ‘‘to briiig to the attention of the Negro the vast field ol invest ment opportunity afforded in the American industrial system, and thereby become larger participants in the' benefits pro vided tmder it”. “This declared purpose**!
